Same stats. The differences are Avenger does normal/elemental Faust does normal/shadow, 5 star avenger's charge has 3 swords while 5 star faust only has one, and Faust/Gran Faust's charge attack can inflict curse and it can also give you curse

People like avenger more than the faust

Aw crap I forgot I have the avenger recipe not faust T-T sorry

I don't quite get what you mean by getting faust for energy. Maybe you meant getting faust with energy. If you are then I'll try to make one for you for cheap (maybe even for free if I'm in a good mood). Also Stone Tortoise to Omega Shell is a pretty good and cheap shield since the mats that you need can be bought with primal sparks (easiest of the 3 sparks to obtain). I would advise just getting the mats for stone tortoise and have someone make it for you (since the shield chain starts at stone tortoise) if you do want one so you don't have to pay 15k or more for a recipe

Aegis is a 5 star shield. Gran Faust is what you're looking for
For me I would only get the Divine Avenger/Gran Faust for its charge attack, although if this is you are getting your first 5 star sword I suggest you make a leviathan, CIV, or the 5 star poison striker first since they're the most reliable

Aww xD Tell me when you have it. I'll show you around to the 3 big cities and I'll show you how to make money in the game.

What server did you choose for FFXIV?

I was like 'NOOOOOO, I FORGOT TO SAVE MY TALENT BULD!!!!'. All good now though

Where did the screenshot thread go?

They hate me. I wanted to own you in a duel (btw, they crashed for me to xD)
